A systematic critique of the notion that natural science is the sovereign domain of truth, Critique of Scientific Reason
uses an extensive and detailed investigation of physics—and in
particular of Einstein's theory of relativity—to argue that the
positivistic notion of rationality is not only wrongheaded but false.
Kurt Hübner contends that positivism ignores both the historical
dimension of science and the basic structures common to scientific
theory, myth, and so-called subjective symbolic systems. Moreover,
Hübner argues, positivism has led in our time to a widespread
disillusionment with science and technology.
